1) 10 BENEFITS OF WALNUTS FOR HEALTH, HAIR AND SKIN
by Jenny Travens, Expert

Walnuts contain essential vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, and other nutrients. They are very easy to store and pack, making it a healthy snacks for people on the go. Walnuts are often found in various food products such chocolates, cakes and cookies. Aside from that, they are also a common ingredient in beauty products due to its overflowing benefits for the skin and hair.

Health Benefits of Walnuts

Heart

A regular consumption of walnuts keeps heart diseases at bay. It helps reduce the LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol which is known as the bad cholesterol and encourage the production of good cholesterol.

Brain

For many years, nuts have been considered as a brain food. They contain high levels of B-vitamin folate, which improves neural health, and reduces the risk of cognitive diseases. Also omega-3 fatty acids helps boost memory and cognitive functions as well. Many research shows that low levels of omega-3 in the body has been linked to depression and impairs cognitive function.

Weight Loss

Walnuts are very essential for weight management. Although it is dense in calories, evidence shows that walnuts aids in weight loss. An ounce of walnuts contain 2.5g of omega-3 fatty acids, 4 grams of protein and 2g of fiber that provide satiety.

Diabetes

According to studies, women who consumed 28 grams of walnuts twice a week, were 24% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Walnuts are uniquely high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which play a vital role in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes.

Men’s Health

A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, found that eating walnuts can reduce the risk of prostate cancer, according to the American Association of Cancer Research. Moreover, A UCLA study found that walnuts could improve the quality of sperm, in terms of its vitality, motility, and morphology.

Lung Cancer

A type of vitamin E known as gamma tocopherol has been found to provide significant protection against lung cancer.

Benefits of Walnuts For Skin

Walnuts are powerhouses of omega-3 fatty acids that helps lock-in moisture and nutrients in the skin, making it plump and glowing. Furthermore, healthy fats found in most nuts and seeds reduces the skin inflammation and protects the skin against harmful UV rays. Vitamin E is also found in walnuts, this vitamins is widely known as a powerful antioxidant that makes the skin smooth and glowing, and accelerate healing.

Conclusion

Walnuts can be easily added to your diet. You can toss it in salads, add it to your hot and cold cereals, dishes, soups, baked goodies. Although it is packed-full of benefits, it is important to keep a minimal consumption every day

2) TRADITIONAL USES OF ALOE VERA FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD
by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM

It’s no secret aloe vera is one of the most popular succulents around the world today. For thousands of years, it has been grown for a variety of uses—everything from oral health, skin benefits, and even dietary supplementation. It’s also an example of when traditional use held up to heavy scrutiny and extensive testing.

While the plant likely got its start in southern Africa, you can find it growing in parts as varied as the Mediterranean to areas of the southern U.S. There’s a lot of nutrients and potential health benefits packed into this easy-maintenance plant: “over 200 different biologically active substances.” 

Aloe Vera in the United States Today

More and more people are using aloe vera to support their health — digestive health, skin health, you name it. Take care, though, that the aloe vera you’re using doesn’t contain aloin or aloe latex (undesirable components found in the outer leaf portion) because there could be either a harsh laxative effect or drug interactions. Even still, aloe vera makes up a small part of the U.S. market when it comes to its use as a natural remedy. 

In the U.S., aloe vera gel is used topically to reduce the appearance of acne, as well as for all sorts of other skin care issues. It’s also used as an additive in beauty products. Many people are starting to drink aloe vera juice for its nutritional value.  You can even find gel from the inner leaf of the plant in many grocery stores, as it has gained popularity as an addition to smoothies. What about people from other parts of the world?

Aloe Vera in Egypt

While aloe vera might not yet be quite as well known in the U.S., Egyptians have prized the plant for over 6000 years. One of the first mentions of aloe vera appears in the Papyrus Ebers around B.C. 1550, which shows 12 formulas for using aloe vera therapeutically. It proved so useful that, at one point, it was known as the “Plant of Immortality.” People would even present aloe vera as a burial gift to deceased pharaohs. It is widely believed that queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra also used aloe vera cosmetically.  Historically, some accounts indicate that the plant was even used to “treat” tuberculosis.  The ancient Egyptians were not the only ones who had a long history of using aloe vera in unique ways.

Aloe Vera in India

As early as B.C. 600, there’s record of Arab traders bringing aloe vera (which they called “desert lily”) to India. Arabs were already separating the inner gel and sap from the outer rind, even grinding the leaves into powder, and this was highly valued; in fact, records from as early as the 17th century show the East India Trading Company relied heavily on aloe for its commercial value. Moving along through history, it’s even mentioned by one of the great religious figures, Mahatma Gandhi, in response to the question of how he maintained his strength while fasting: “You ask me what were the secret forces which sustained me during my long fasts. Well, it was my unshakable faith in God, my simple and frugal lifestyle, and the Aloe whose benefits I discovered upon my arrival in South Africa at the end of the 19th century.” And, like in the U.S., aloe juice products are becoming increasingly popular in India, with anticipated benefits including high vitamin and mineral content, adaptogenic properties, digestive support, and detoxification.

Aloe Vera in Ancient Greece

The first recorded mention of aloe in Greek culture was made by the physician, Aulus Celsus, who focused exclusively on aloe as a purgative. Further mention is made in the text “Greek Herbal” by Pedanius Dioscorides, who notes the sap, not the gel, is the healing agent, and that the more bitter the sap, the more effective. He also comments aloe vera induces sleep, cleanses the stomach, has skin benefits, stops hair loss, and has several other benefits. Greek scholars and doctors alike continued to confirm and expound upon its use throughout history and even up into modern times.

Aloe Vera Usage Across Asia

As early as B.C. 400, the aloe vera plant and processed aloe products were being traded throughout Asia. By 700-800 AD, the Chinese “Materia Medicas” noted its medical benefits, referring to the plant as “Lu-hui” (black deposit) because of its bitter taste. Ever since then, aloe use has swept throughout China, as well as the entire continent of Asia. A group from Tokyo Women’s Medical College has conducted some of the leading research on a lectin found in aloe vera that help supports the immune system. There’s even a popular Japanese yogurt line that uses aloe as one of its key ingredients!

Aloe Names from Around the World

With such amazing uses, aloe vera has earned nicknames from all around the globe–names like the “silent healer”, “burn plant”, “ghai kunwar”, “elephant’s gall”, “isha irazu”, “cape aloe”, the “medicine plant”, and the “first aid plant”. And, while there are lots of other aloe species, none are so heavily utilized as aloe vera.

The Future of Aloe Vera in the United States

As aloe continues to grow in popularity in the U.S, many Americans are educating themselves about natural remedies and the health benefits of improving their nutrition. As more and more aloe products arrive on the market—gels, lotions, creams, juices, and capsules—it’s easier than ever to access the benefits of aloe vera. And, because aloe plants are so easy to care for, more people are growing their own. But, remember, always use caution when consuming fresh aloe. Certain parts of the leaf contain compounds called aloin and aloe latex which will likely cause a pretty severe state of gastric distress. The best thing you could do to maximize the benefits from aloe would be to take a high-quality aloe vera supplement like Aloe Fuzion™. Aloe Fuzion is an incredibly effective aloe vera supplement because it is made from 100% organic inner leaf aloe vera powder. It has the highest acemannan content available today to ensure that you get the most benefit from aloe vera supplementation.
